Re: best speaker/amp setup

well, I'm a noob as well, but if you would read a bit on the web (this site, and others) the consensus is that rear speakers are a waste of time/money/effort. do a search on "rear fill" and see what you get.

Re: best speaker/amp setup

what i meant is do you want rear speakers for your passengers or do you not care about them. me personally in my car i have a set of front componenets a 4ch amp and woofers. my 1 amp is powering everything up

It's going to be hard with that 12, but bridge the rears for the sub and power the OE rear speakers off the HU if you need rear fill. If not, just unhook them. That'll eat up the rest of your money. That 12 is going to want a lot of power.
